When I was with them I kept them safe and watched over them in your name that you have given me. Not one of them was lost except the one destined for destruction, so that the scripture could be fulfilled.

For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

Jesus replied, “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up again.”

I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; no one will snatch them from my hand.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

You do not realize that it is more to your advantage to have one man die for the people than for the whole nation to perish.”
